Summary:
The 52572 zip code is home to two schools, Moulton Elementary School and Moulton-Udell High School, both of which are part of the Moulton-Udell Community School District. Based on the available data, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state-level metrics across various measures, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and statewide rankings.
Both Moulton Elementary School and Moulton-Udell High School have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Moulton Elementary School's 3rd grade proficiency rates were 33.3% in ELA and 46.7% in Math, while Moulton-Udell High School's 10th grade proficiency rates were 20% in ELA and 40% in Math, all well below the state averages. Additionally, both schools had high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average.
The data also suggests that these schools may be serving communities with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by their very high free and reduced lunch rates, which were over 60% at both schools in the 2023-2024 school year. While the schools have relatively high spending per student, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to support student learning.
